Well, yeah, you're right, but the fact that the engine has a proper bay, as opposed to being kitty-cornered under the windshield helps a little, I'd think...
As for the plastic...um, no. Probably not. I also doubt the shiny glass-like material that says "Camaro" will be on the underside of the hood, either.

Nor will all the accessories, and fluid tanks be located in the trunk
